Quality Hand Crafted Guitars, Folk Instruments & Art
Custom Options
You can Customize your instrument in many ways. You can choose from the following menu options or request something more personalized.
Available Tonewoods
The wood that I typically use is recycled, reclaimed, or re-purposed. I rarely use commercial lumber if I can help it. This menu changes on a regular basis.
Currently Available are:
Florida Cypress (Top Soundboards Only), Chinaberry, Monkeypod, Poplar, and Maple.
Limited amounts of Cherry and Mahogany (Fretboards Only)
Stains and Finishes
I seal the wood with an unwaxed shellac blend I make from shellac flakes.
The Top Coat is done using AquaCoat Poly Acrylic Satin or Gloss.
I generally use Minwax Wood Stains in my instrument builds to simulate wood types that I do not otherwise have available.
